#234: Finely Knitted Estonian Gloves in Otepää Style with Pink Galore Entrelac Cuffs

Knitted with mostly two colored yarn in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. The pattern comes from Otepää area in Valga County. It is an ancient geometrical pattern, depicting trees or snow piles. There is a Japanease pattern which is amazingly similar to this one.

Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and DK weight yarn. Most of the yarns are hand dyed, 100% wool from Estonia. The off-white is natural sheep color. They are perfect to block wind and wear in winter. Beautiful entrelac ciffs are very elegant, like a bracelet around your wrist.

The gloves are color-worked all the way to the fingertips, which makes them warmer than average thin one-layer gloves. The yarn being rather thin makes them very comfortable to wear and they fit like a second skin.

Women’s size, approximately 8.
